Brennan looked around the room one last time to make sure everything was in order. She had disconnected the wireless router, the internet connection, shut off both her and Booth's cell phones, and made sure their laptops where powered down and closed. She even made sure the alarm clocks and lights were unplugged and that the baby monitor was off.

Lighting candles so Booth could at least see where he was going, she climbed into bed and took a deep breath to calm herself when she heard the TV downstairs click off. Hearing his footsteps, she pulled the covers back for him, inviting him into the bed with her. She heard him briefly stop at Christine's door, push it open and say "Sweet dreams Princess. Daddy loves you." Her heart quickened when he started walking again, this time to their bedroom.

He stopped in his tracks when he got to the threshold. He was definitely not expecting to see such a romantic setting, when he came to bed tonight. "Bones. What's going on, baby?"

She smiled at him, that gorgeous smile that got him every time, "Nothing. I feel that we require some alone time. Don't you?"

It had been almost a month since he had broken off their engagement, so alone time was something they didn't really do that much anymore. She had acted in a professional capacity since then. They lived in the same house, raised their daughter, but their relationship was almost like it was after his coma, after he came back from Afghanistan, or when she fled with Christine. Polite to each other, but almost awkward at the same time.

"Absolutely," he said walking towards the bed shedding his t-shirt, then he stopped and thought about it again, "Are you sure? If you're not comfortable…"

Patting the bed, "Please?"

After pulling down his shorts, he slid into bed with her. She immediately straddled him, leaning down to kiss his lips, cheeks and neck. His hands found her hips, and he just lay there enjoying the moment.

"I approximate we only have another 20 to 30 minutes before he realizes what I have done, so I require that you to let me talk without any interruption or reactions from you, understood?" she whispered into his ear.

He was unsure what was going on, but he demonstrated his understanding by gripping her hips. But what had she done?

Kissing his neck again, she ground herself against him, "I've disabled all the electronics in this room so that I can communicate to you, with very little chance of being detected. I've recently found out that we will be having another child," she felt his breathing hitch, then shudder out, felt his hands tighten on her hips, his lips brush against her ear. "I've gone to the clinic I donate funds to, so there is no electronic trail. I know you love me, and you want to get married, but Pelant did something to keep that from happening," more hip gripping and kisses. "I am a very healthy woman, but I will not risk losing our child due to the stress of this whole fiasco." This time his hands moved up her back and held her closer, as his breath caught again. "Dad and I have devised a plan to lure him out of hiding, after which we can bring him to justice. We have people from our pasts that can be very useful, that I am almost positive he is unaware of. I am sure they will be willing to help us," then she told him the rest of the plan.

Booth couldn't believe what this woman, who he loved more than anything, was telling him. He was going to be a father again. His heart swelled with joy, but she had asked him not to react. When all he really wanted to do was kiss her, tell her he loved her and make love to her. She was right about the stress their life was under. He would not lose anyone in his family to that son of a bitch.

Compartmentalizing, thinking, planning, dissecting, rationalizing, reading the facts and evidence were all part of how she dealt with things that hurt and she couldn't handle now. She didn't run, she just became very quiet. She looked at all the facts that she knew about Booth. She knew that after his failed marriage proposal to Hannah, he kicked her out of his apartment. She knew that he didn't like sharing custody of Parker with Rebecca but he did it. So that told her that Booth at least still loved her enough to keep trying to make this work. He looked at her like he had for the last 5 years, with what she had come to recognize as love and adoration.

After she said everything she had to say, she finally rose above him and looked down at him, "I felt that you needed to know all this, so you don't feel like I, we are leaving you again," she cupped his face in her hand, leaning down to place a tender kiss on his lips, "You understand that, correct?" He pulled her face back down for another kiss as his answer. "You may speak now, but we don't have very much time left before I have to at least turn on the phones," she spoke in a whisper again.

Rolling her over, he settled between her legs, "I love you so damn much, Bones. I'm going to marry you as soon as this shit is over with, I guarantee it. I will kill him before I let anything happen to this new life we created. I know that big brilliant brain of yours has already worked out this plan, so I'm going to trust you. I love you," kiss as she wraps her arms around his shoulders, "I love you," kiss, "I love you," kiss, and then he quickly moved down her body to her belly, placing several quick kisses to the expanse. Brennan giggled at him, running her fingers in his hair, "I love you too baby. I'm your daddy. By the time you get here everything will be settled."

After a moment of just cuddling, and loving each other, "Let me turn our phones back on at least," he rolled off of her to get up, "Then I'm going to make love to you, as long as that's alright with you."

Smiling at him, "I think I will enjoy that."
